Abstract: In order to remove fluorine from a zinc containing solution before zinc electro-refining in lower cost, fluorine is removed by adsorption from a zinc containing solution (leached solution) utilizing the character of the predetermined iron compound or zinc compound which can adsorb fluorine in an acid solution and desorb fluorine in an alkaline solution. The fluorine adsorbent/desorbent having adsorbed fluorine is treated in an alkaline solution, to desorb the fluorine. This makes it possible to regenerate the fluorine adsorbent/desorbent. Further, an electrolytic solution for zinc electro-refining can be prepared in lower cost, thus total zinc refining costs can be reduced.

Title: Hydrotreating carbohydrates to fuel products
Inventor: SUGHRUE EDWARD L II
IPC: C10G3/00
Filed: 2010-08-03
Abstract: Conversion of renewable hydrocarbons to transportation fuels is required to reduce carbon emission, limit the use of fossil fuels, and develop renewable energy sources. Sorbitol, xylitol and trehelose are polyalcohols generated from the liquefaction of various sugars and carbohydrates in biomass from algae, corn, sugarcane, switchgrasses, and biological wastes. Mixtures of aqueous polyols and fuel feedstocks are catalyzed over metal catalysts to produce hexanes, pentanes, and lighter hydrocarbons.    By managing the catalyst, reaction conditions and sulfur content, the octane value of the product fuel is dramatically increased.

Abstract: A laser processing system provides a burst of ultrafast laser pulses having a selectively shaped burst envelope. A  burst pulse laser includes a high repetition rate ultrafast laser to deliver a pulse train with each pulse in the train having an independently controlled amplitude. The respective amplitudes of each ultrafast pulse in a group define a "burst envelope." In addition to independently controlling the amplitude of each ultrafast pulse within the burst envelope, the system may also provide selective control of spacing between each ultrafast pulse and/or the overall temporal width of the burst envelope. Thus, the system provides selective shaping of the burst envelope for particular laser processing applications.
